53: There is absolutely no response to ambush!

“That person... something’s off about him.”

On the city wall, Ruo Liuli suddenly spoke after watching Jue Wuying lead his Martial Artist team into the distance.

Shen Li narrowed his eyes, looking at Jue Wuying, who was gradually disappearing into the wind and sand, and asked, “What’s off about him?”

“When he passed by, I felt the Yao Blood within me stir a little.”

Shen Li’s gaze became serious, and he turned his head to look at Ruo Liuli.

“Really?”

“I don’t know if it’s an illusion... perhaps I’m overthinking it.”

Wang Teng, who understood the hidden secrets, frowned.

“You mean he also has Yao Blood?”

“There’s a high probability he does. After all, a Martial Artist’s sense of smell is quite keen.”

Wang Teng looked at Shen Li, speaking with some urgency.

“He’s from the Luan Xiu Alliance? Is he a spy? What’s going on?”

Shen Li closed his eyes and said, “What is the Jue Family’s influence like?”

“The Family doesn’t have a Foundation Establishment True Person, but they have long enshrined a True Person, so they are considered somewhat stable. The Jue Family seems to be brewing something big. I heard that in recent years, their Family has begun collecting and inquiring about heaven and earth treasures used for Dao Foundation.”

“Their outer sphere of influence isn’t in Qingyang, but in Qingyang.”

“No Foundation Establishment True Person overseeing them... just affiliated, with their sphere of influence in Qingyang... Isn’t there a scoundrel from the Yin Nether Sect causing trouble in Qingyang?”

“The Jue Family... is indeed unusual.”

“But we can’t send a message back by carrier pigeon right now, so what should we do?”

Shen Li closed his eyes for a long time, then exhaled a turbid Qi.

Looking at the sky full of wind and sand, he said in a deep voice, “Kill him first, then talk!”

Wang Teng thought he was lawless enough, but he didn’t expect the seemingly gentle Shen Li to be even more lawless than him?

Although the Jue Family was not a top Family in Qingchi Mountain, and there was still a gap between them and the Shen Family and Wang Family, after all, a Foundation Establishment True Person stood behind them.

Moreover, Qingchi Mountain allowed fair competition, but it absolutely forbade anyone from privately assassinating members of other Cultivation Families.

Otherwise, everyone would be in danger, and how could there be the current prosperity of Qingchi Mountain?

And now, an Outer Sect Disciple of the Shen Family, at the Qi Refining Third Layer, openly wants to kill the Immortal Seedling of the Jue Family?

Has Shen Li gone mad?

Wang Teng’s gaze was strange, seemingly marveling at the madness of this elegant man before him.

“You’re crazy. You know the Jue Family is affiliated with Qingchi Mountain, right?”

“If this comes to light, the entire Black Ridge City will be buried with your decision!”

Shen Li’s gaze gradually changed from gentle to cold.

He looked at Wang Teng, the previous teasing gone from his eyes.

It was terrifyingly cold.

He said, word by word,

“Jue Wuying has entered Black Ridge City and knows the city’s layout. Now, with the yellow sand everywhere, isolating inside and out, a Cultivator from the Jue Family with Yao Blood, if he colludes with the Yao Race... it would cause a fatal blow to me.”

“I will never allow such a situation to happen!”

“Have you ever seen a Cultivation Family allow their direct Disciple to Cultivate evil arts? Especially the ‘Demon Transformation’ evil art of the Yin Nether Sect!”

“This matter could never appear within a Cultivation Family!”

“Unless their very bones are rotten.”

“Qiu Ya, Ruo Liuli, bring the Yuting Guard!”

“Go!!!”

And Wang Teng... licked the corner of his mouth.

He let out a strange cackle.

“I thought you were just an Outer Sect Disciple with a bit of cleverness, but I didn’t expect you to be even more insane than me!”

“Interesting! Truly interesting!”

“Let’s go together! I’ll go with you!”

“Aren’t you afraid?”

At this moment, Wang Teng realized that the seemingly gentle Shen Li before him possessed an inner ruthlessness a thousand, ten thousand times stronger than his own.

The gap between them was like heaven and earth!

This gap made Wang Teng, unknowingly, develop endless apprehension and admiration.

It was as if he was meeting Shen Li for the first time.

He cackled.

“Let’s chop him first, then talk!”

Amidst the wind and sand.

Jue Wuying moved through the sandstorm as if in an uninhabited land.

A withered, raspy voice sounded beside him, and a Yao Beast appeared from the yellow sand.

The Yao Beast was enormous, resembling a hyena.

Its eyes were full of cunning, and its Realm was Qi Refining Fourth Layer, exactly the same as Jue Wuying’s.

It had clearly gained sentience, and it asked in a hoarse voice, “How was it?”

Jue Wuying responded carefully, saying in a deep voice, “The Realms... one Qi Refining Third Layer, one Qi Refining Second Layer, they’re ordinary.”

“Two Grandmaster Martial Artists... a bit troublesome.”

“The internal and external layout is ordinary, only a Yunmai Heshui Formation that isolates inside and out. The guards are ordinary, but they do have some foundation in Dao Soldiers. The city defense is quite good, and there are ‘heavy crossbows’ on the wall.”

Hearing the words ‘Dao Soldiers’ and ‘heavy crossbows,’ a hint of apprehension flashed in the Yao Beast’s eyes.

“Heavy crossbows? Where did they come from?”

Jue Wuying said indifferently, “Wang Teng is also in the city, so why ask? They must have come from the Wang Family Market!”

“It seems the situation is quite tricky?”

“It’s better not to easily move on Black Ridge City. The ‘Yellow Sand Dragon Tornado’ isolates the Black Horn Mountain Range, creating a vacuum. If Wang Teng isn’t there, then killing that Shen Family Immortal Seed is fine.”

“The wind and sand will cover everything.”

“But Wang Teng is still in the city. If something unexpected happens, Sen Yan will definitely arrive immediately.”

“I’m afraid it will delay the big plan.”

“But according to the plan, all markets near the Black Horn Mountain Range should be completely wiped out, without leaking any information. Leaving one Black Ridge City, especially in such a crucial position... in the future, I’m afraid.”

Jue Wuying frowned, somewhat annoyed.

Although the Yao Beast in front of him had gained sentience, it was overly foolish.

But he couldn’t not explain.

He said, “Once we acquire that precious treasure, and the Sand Essence Old Ancestor of the Yellow Sand Tribe becomes an Immortal Master, Black Ridge City can be overthrown with a flip of the hand.”

“That’s true... but...”

Jue Wuying looked at the hesitant Yao Beast before him and naturally knew what it was thinking.

Humans are the spirits of all things, and Yao Beasts can devour humans to advance their Cultivation.

Moreover, Yao Beasts generally believe human flesh is sweet and delicious, so they all scramble to attack markets and slaughter humans.

This Black Ridge City was originally the target of this hyena Demon, but now it was told not to attack. Naturally, it was greatly dissatisfied.

That’s why it wanted to test the waters.

Jue Wuying was too lazy to bother, only saying, “As long as you don’t touch that Wang Teng, you can do as you please.”

With these words, the Yao Beast’s mind was set.

“Then what are we waiting for?”

“Children... follow me....”

A dense group of four-legged hyenas appeared in the wind and sand, drooling as they looked in the direction of Black Ridge City.

The hyena Demon licked its lips, about to give the order, when its voice caught in its throat.

It felt a sudden dryness in its mouth!

It raised its head in confusion, only to see a huge fireball in the wind and sand, like a meteor, suddenly falling!

Jue Wuying’s expression suddenly changed...

“Which Cultivator dares to attack?!”

“You’re courting death!”

And Wang Teng’s still arrogant voice exploded in the air.

“You little bastard Jue Wuying, colluding with Demons and betraying the Human Race, you are a disgrace to Qingchi Mountain!”

“Today, Wang Teng, the Prodigy of the Wang Family, will strike you down!!! To restore the clarity of Qingchi Mountain!”

“Die for me!”
